Raising funds can be difficult, especially if you have been participating in the Polar Plunge for multiple years. A great way to raise funds for your Polar Plunge team is by hosting small fundraising events!

Many restaurants that are willing to donate a small percentage on a given night

Office bake sales (Valentine’s Day is a great theme!)

Car washes at local gas stations

Guest bartending nights!

Team Nickel and Dime of Aerotek Alameda hosted a bar night on Jan. 22 at the Blue Light in San Francisco and have another on Feb. 19 at Wreck Room! Captain Angela said the guest bartending has been very successful for her team! They’ve even sold food and had a signature drink as an extra boost for fundraising. If you live in the City, check out Nickel and Dime’s next event:
